Go Figure

I can’t figure out women. Like every man on the planet – I’ve tried to figure women out. Can’t do it. You could write a book about the things about women that I don’t know. Of course, the writer would have to be a woman, because (reality check) no other guy really knows enough about … Continue reading Go Figure →

Bad, Bad Jim

What makes you a bad person? Is it that you’re an absolute bad person all the time, or is it that you might commit one bad act? If you commit one bad act, then are you automatically a bad person overall, or can you redeem yourself. Maybe you can perform a restitution to make good … Continue reading Bad, Bad Jim →

The Enabler.

While I am many things, let’s add enabler to the list. Going to The Lion yesterday to get a few things, I got a text from my daughter who’s leaving the next morning to go back to school.

My NFL Dislikes

But football being football, I’m sure I’d like it. I know enough about it to know what’s going on. Kate and Charlotte watch football when … Continue reading My NFL Dislikes →

Another Mystery

I consider myself a smart man. By smart, I mean that when presented with a solvable problem, I can (usually) figure it out. Give me a physics equation, then, odds are - no. But those aren’t solvable to the normal person on the street. With a set of plans, I can build stuff. Or, when … Continue reading Another Mystery →

Curses.

Curses to Jeff Goldblum. Or is it curses to Seth Brundle? Either/Or – CURSES !!! It’s all starting to come together and now I need to figure out whether to embrace it or try and stop it. So, you know the story behind the 1986 movie “The Fly”. Seth Brundle, the scientist, created a teleportation … Continue reading Curses. →

Just an add-on to my list of things you should not do. #6 – when you are finished with your at home breakfast of pancakes and sausage and you have left over syrup, DO NOT try to put it back into the syrup container. It makes a mess. You’re welcome

It’s A Mystery

As I made my breakfast this morning I had to take a second to ponder a thought. Well, it was actually more than a second – I stood there in deep thought.
